Chapters for Later Parts of “Our Fathers”

This publication provides a detailed bibliographical and textual analysis of two chapters by John Ruskin, originally intended for the Sixth Part of 'Our Fathers have Told Us.' The first chapter, 'Candida Casa,' was set in type years before its 1893 publication in 'Verona and other Lectures,' while the second, 'Mending the Sieve,' stemmed from a lecture on Cistercian architecture delivered in 1882. The text also includes an appendix on Saxon money, later published separately. Key insights include Ruskin's early composition of these works, their subsequent publication history, and the inclusion of previously unpublished fragments from his 1883 lecture in footnotes. The study offers a comprehensive examination of Ruskin's literary process, blending archival research with textual analysis to reconstruct the evolution of these chapters.
